Denzel Curry, Dua Saleh & Haleek Maul Unite For Frenetic New Single “Bloodrush”

Alan Moore, the celebrated writer who is responsible for Watchmen and V for Vendetta, recently premiered his new film The Show with director Mitch Jenkins at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain.

The film featured a special track commissioned for its trailer that featured Denzel Curry, Dua Saleh, and Haleek Maul joining forces with Fog frontman Andrew Broder, who provides a chaotic industrial beat.

Denzel Curry kicks things off with a fiery verse over some tribal drums that easily sounds like it could’ve been a Yeezus throwaway.

Speaking of that album, Bon Iver frontman and Yeezus collaborator Justin Vernon has a writing credit on this one and his influence can be clearly felt in the stacked-vocals segment towards the end.

Check out “Bloodrush” below. Who do you think had the best verse on this one? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics

Behind every smile, it be a river of tears
Six minutes, you’re on, at the crack of dawn
You will face all your worst fears
Dip the curtains, you hear all the cheers
And profanity, all of its fear
See your vanity, all of your peers
They’re your enemy, you will be veered to insanity

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”

The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.

The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.

Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.
